Paintings and guitars. I have Picasso prints and one Rembrandt etching.

An old camper van that has cost me more in repairs than my house, my wedding and all the holidays I’ve ever been on.

A saxophone for £8,000.

I am a shoe and bag freak. I shelled out for a Chanel handbag on eBay and it was still four figures!

The years between 13 and 17, which I think are very formative, and the rather arid public school upbringing I had at Harrow.

Aside from family life, which is the ultimate happiness, when I see or hear a great artist.

I feel lucky to have been in this business for as long as I have. When I think of the intake that I was with at Rada, only one other person is still an actor, an old fellow called Bill Gaunt.

If you have a nice drink before going to bed, you don’t stay awake at night. I like almost anything in a bottle.

To be able to play the piano like Artur Schnabel.

I cry all the time. I like crying: it means that you’re more truly aware of a circumstance or a person or an event.
